OLD MUTUAL LIMITED - Dealings in Securities on behalf of Employee Share Incentive Schemes
What this filing means
Old Mutual's two employee share trusts purchased approximately 9.1 million of the company's own shares over two days (13–14 October 2026) at prices between R13.29 and R13.50 per share, at a combined value of roughly R116.8 million, purely as on-market hedging for existing share award plans — a routine, mechanically required disclosure that does not alter the investment thesis.
Old Mutual's employee share schemes bought their own shares in the market to hedge obligations under existing employee ownership and incentive plans. This is a compliance filing required every time these trusts deal in the company's shares — it proves the plans are being funded, not that the company is investing or changing direction. The R116.8 million of on-market activity is mechanical and non-directional.
Bear case
- The filing discloses no reason to expect a change in Old Mutual's investment thesis or capital allocation.

SENS-AI conclusion
A mechanical, required disclosure: two Old Mutual employee trusts bought their own shares on-market over two days as plan-level hedges. No corporate strategy, capital allocation or earnings outlook is implied. The filing is purely informational — it satisfies regulatory requirements and carries no investment signal. So what: there is nothing here to act on; the next meaningful Old Mutual disclosure is its next results or trading statement.
No follow-up from this filing. The next directional disclosure will be the next results or trading statement.
